Instructions

In a large bowl, toss together the shredded cabbage and carrots with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt in a mesh colander. Let it sit for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, discard the accumulated water in the bowl, then rinse the cabbage and carrots. Dry thoroughly using a salad spinner or paper towels. Return the dried mix to the bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix the apple cider vinegar and granulated sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the mayonnaise, celery seed, 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly-ground black pepper, whisking until smooth.
Pour your desired amount of dressing over the cabbage and carrots. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to preference.
Cover the coleslaw and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Stir before serving. This coleslaw keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

For an added crunch, consider adding diced apples or walnuts to the coleslaw.
Make sure to let the coleslaw chill for the best flavor!
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar according to your taste.
